the app keeps crashing on startup, just unusable

I’d like to see more in-depth definitions, with sample sentences that employ the meaning of the word being researched. Antonyms could be listed at the bottom of each completed entry as well…with more sample sentences, as well. I miss the old-school dictionaries, (American Heritage, Oxford), that employed this expanded format. Allow the nuances of words to be understood.

Not free. An "in-house purchase for $13 is required before use.

Excellent, quick reference speed for all research needs. Quality excellent. Use many times for daily research on word background information.

I don't think this developer understands the concept behind in-app purchases. If you literally can't do anything without an in-app purchase then just make the app paid instead.

My favorite app.

I thoroughly enjoy and use this dictionary almost daily. I prefer off-line dictionaries for the specific reason that they are off-line. It’s available to me all the time. This dictionary is the best one that is available and provides me with all the details that I want. When I look up the word, I don’t want to just know the meaning I want to know a bit about it. This dictionary goes above and beyond. The company is strongly supporting it, which makes me very happy. Recently, there was a problem that turned out to be a bug in the operating system. The company and Apple fix it very quickly and so now I have my Dictionary back. As I want to be writer, this is one of the best tools I have.

I was on the 17 beta, but dropped back to the regular iOS17 to see if maybe it was 17 beta breaking it. AHeD was still broken. Maybe my resetting my iOS to non-beta didn’t really take. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyway, I got a reply from the developer today (blaming my problems for being on the beta iOS)… 🙄 But I discovered that they actually fixed it for both iOS17 and iOS17beta!! Yay!! 👍 Good job, Enfour! Thanks! ———————————————————— Old review: As usual, Apple made 10,000 changes to iOS, undoubtedly for more twattokbook crap, that broke everything else; and the developer of the best dictionary software ever made can’t be bothered to download the developer preview iOS, and recompile its software so that it Just Works. The program still runs, it lets you type in a word, but then the screen goes blank. No definitions. Also, all my bookmarks are invisible too. At least they’re not *gone*! But come on enfour! Recompile this program, so it works properly under iOS 17!!😩

For every word you think you know (but do not, so you sort of ‘skim over’ them every time you encounter them), this is the definitive pocket app. Equally important is that it provides the word’s origin, answering the question “how did that ever come to mean that?” I find it indispensable, and use it every single day, without exaggeration.

I have had this app on my iPhone and iPad for a decade. It stopped working on my iPad a year ago and now no longer updates to work with current iOS. I got a new iPhone a month ago and now the app doesn’t work. In-app restore doesn’t work and developer will not respond to repeated emails. I initially got the app by buying the physical dictionary. Developer reset codes when problems arose years ago. Too bad this is no longer supported.
